Views doesn't have multi-valued field unit tests

Created on 29 September 2014, almost 11 years ago

Unless I'm missing them, Views' unit tests only test single valued fields. Because of this, we have regressions such as #2342287: Allow Twig in Views token replacement β†’ . Ideally we would run most existing tests on both single- and multi-valued fields.

Specifically, \core\modules\views\src\Tests\ViewTestData.php contains:

  public static function schemaDefinition() {
    $schema['views_test_data'] = array(
      'description' => 'Basic test table for Views tests.',
      'fields' => array(
        'id' => array(
          'type' => 'serial',
          'unsigned' => TRUE,
          'not null' => TRUE,
        ),
        'name' => array(
          'description' => "A person's name",
          'type' => 'varchar',
          'length' => 255,
          'not null' => TRUE,
          'default' => '',
        ),
        'age' => array(
          'description' => "The person's age",
          'type' => 'int',
          'unsigned' => TRUE,
          'not null' => TRUE,
          'default' => 0),
        'job' => array(
          'description' => "The person's job",
          'type' => 'varchar',
          'length' => 255,
          'not null' => TRUE,
          'default' => 'Undefined',
        ),
        'created' => array(
          'description' => "The creation date of this record",
          'type' => 'int',
          'unsigned' => TRUE,
          'not null' => TRUE,
          'default' => 0,
        ),
        'status' => array(
          'description' => "The status of this record",
          'type' => 'int',
          'unsigned' => TRUE,
          'not null' => TRUE,
          'default' => 0,
        ),
      ),
      'primary key' => array('id'),
      'unique keys' => array(
        'name' => array('name')
      ),
      'indexes' => array(
        'ages' => array('age'),
      ),
    );
    return $schema;
  }

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
